The same goes for the other way around. Once the officials appointed by Zhu Youxiao stand on their opposite side, they will use the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to balance them.

From the perspective of the officialdom, the word balance can never be escaped.

After arranging the official selection department of Founder-Zhenghua Jin Internal Affairs Office, Zhu Youxiao could breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, and the Internal Affairs Office was on the right track.

However, there is still one thing to do, that is, the selection of staff in the Office of the Interior. Although it must be decided through assessment, this is not a fair selection, but a selection full of political tendencies.

The blame will be taken by his father-in-law Zhang Guoji.

As he reached out and tapped the table slowly, Zhu Youxiao was thinking about how to get his father-in-law to agree to this matter. He might need to think of some solutions.

Although his father-in-law is cowardly, incompetent and corrupt, he is not stupid and knows what is difficult to do.

As for what solution...why should I arrange someone for my father-in-law?

This is a good idea, just look at it carefully.

At the same time, there were two people talking in an inn in the capital.

Among them is a thin young man with a decadent face at this time, sitting on a chair drinking wine, saying hesitantly: "Do you really not consider it anymore?"

This sentence was said by the young man to the man sitting opposite him.

Sitting opposite him was still a young man, who was a little fat, pretty, strong and energetic.

After hearing his words, the man smiled and said, "There is no need to think about it again. I don't want to try again. I have taken the exam several times in a row, and I have never achieved it once."

"Three years and three years, three years and three years, how many three years does a person have in his life? As he said that, the man smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Why is this going to retreat? How can this time not be an opportunity?" The thin man said sincerely: "The road to the imperial examination is not clear, we can go other ways, there is no need to do so."

The man called Chuzhi smiled bitterly on his face, looked up at the thin man and said helplessly: "Chang Geng, why don't you understand it yet? It's not that we have poor knowledge, but that we are not in the right position. This world will not give us a way out."

The man called Chang Geng was stunned and asked hesitantly: "Why do you have to say that when you go back?"

"Who do we believe in? We believe in Zhang Zai and learn Guan Xue. No one in the court will give us the chance. We can pass the Juren, but we will definitely not pass the Jinshi. Why don't you understand this?" Chuzhi was like a person who woke up from his dream, and seemed to have already recognized his position.

"It's not that we are not good at human beings, but that we believe in the wrong knowledge and we learn the wrong knowledge. The previous imperial examinations were the same, and the current Ministry of Internal Affairs is the same. Besides, what is the Ministry of Internal Affairs? It's just His Majesty's slave, where can we make a breakthrough? We have been reading the books of sages for so many years, but we really just want to be a slave for the royal family?" After Tuizhi said that, he drank a big mouthful of wine.

He looked up at Tuizhi and said calmly: "No one wants to take the exam for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and we do not believe in wrong knowledge, nor do we learn wrong knowledge. If there is any mistake, then the wrong one is also us. The wrong one is the world, and definitely not our knowledge!"

Just when the atmosphere was a little nervous, someone suddenly broke in outside. He walked in quickly and looked happy.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two people was wrong, the joy on the faces of the people faded away, and he swallowed what he wanted to say.

He hesitated a little, then turned to Changgeng and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong? Why did you quarrel with Tuizhi again? How many times did you two argue? Why are there no end?"

"Brother, I'm going to leave." Chang Geng sighed and said.

After hearing this, the elder brother fell into silence. Although the expression on his face was a little hesitant, he turned to look at Tuizhi and comforted him, "Why is this? The court has changed. Can't you see it?"

"What can you tell? It was Neo-Confucianism before, but now it is Mind Science. What's the difference?"

"Do they have a tolerant and open mind? They don't. They will do what those people have done before, and we don't have the chance to stand out." Tuizhi said indignantly.

Then he turned his head to look at the two of them, and Tuizhi said bluntly: "You Song Yingsheng, you Song Yingxing, you two brothers studied together since childhood. They are diligent and talented than ordinary people. They were admitted to the scholar early and passed the Juren early, but what's the result?"

"Many times, knowledge is done well, and the road is not clear."

"I, Zhang Yu and Zhang Tuizhi, are different from reading since childhood? What do I not understand in the sub-collection of scriptures? What do I understand in the Four Books and Five Books? But so what?"

"Isn't it because we have learned the secrets of our studies? Isn't it because we are not theirs and don't believe in their own way?"

Song Yingxing looked at Zhang Yu and said in a deep voice: "I think this time is an opportunity."

Zhang Yu sneered, didn't say anything, sat aside and stopped talking, obviously no longer saying anything. It was obvious that I couldn't convince you, nor could you convince me.

Seeing the two people at a glance, Song Yingsheng said, "I won't tell you all this. You two will solve your own problems. But maybe I can provide you with a direction, because I did find some things, maybe this time it is really an opportunity. News from the court just now came out."

After hearing this, Song Yingxing quickly raised his head.

Zhang Yu next to him also raised his head. Although what he said just now was intense and decisive, it was precisely because of concern and unwillingness that he was so decisive and so intense.

"Wang An, the eunuch of the Silijian, gave Queen Zhang an idea and asked her to tell His Majesty about the errands of the Office of the Internal Affairs."

"Just just now, all those who want to do errands in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were fined their salaries; and His Majesty also issued an order to reprimand some people."

"Your Majesty said that this time, the selection of staff in the Office of the Internal Affairs must uphold the principles of fairness, justice and openness, and there is absolutely no allowance for favoritism and fraud." As he said this, Song Yingsheng had a yearning on his face. Finally, he concluded: "The Ming Dynasty is about to produce a wise ruler."

After hearing Song Yingsheng's words, Zhang Yu said helplessly: "That's not what the people outside say. They say that Your Majesty favors eunuchs, believes in demonic ways, lives a luxurious life, and takes valuables to refine elixirs. There are a large number of craftsmen in the palace to have fun. I heard that they are specially created for His Majesty's miracles and tricks. I am a little confused now. Which statement is true?"

"I heard that it is not possible. You must observe his words and observe his actions." Song Yingxing continued, "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has rectified the court's principles, reversed the unjust case for Xiong Tingbi, and investigated the borers in the court. This time, there are many major cases that have been implicated, which is a good testament to Your Majesty's ambition and courage."

"But some people say that it was framed by Wei Zhongxian from the East Factory." Zhang Yu said helplessly.

"The person who said this is blind." Song Yingxing said disdainfully: "Where is the silver taken out by the late emperor? The silver is gone. If no one reaches out and if no one is corrupt, where will the silver go? This is iron evidence of crime, and they are just unwilling to admit it."

"In recent years, the officials in the court have been changed, but aren't the officials who are so hard that they are all their people? When did we stand out? Are we all the same all the same after doing it?"

"But this time I think it's different. Your Majesty appointed Xu Guangqi and Chen Tingyun. They said that the Baigongfang was a place for Your Majesty to have fun, and I don't think so. You all know the knowledge we learned is completely different from theirs. But it's just an opportunity."

After hearing this, Zhang Yu couldn't help laughing and said helplessly: "I really don't know if you are naive or stupid. Neo-Confucianism takes reason as the basis of all things, and mind studies take mind as the basis of all things. What about our learning? We use qi as the basis of all things!"

"Do you think the school of mind will be different from Neo-Confucianism? Why do you think they will accept us? They won't. Everything is the same for us, and there will be no change."

"That's why we have to change!" Song Yingxing said loudly: "If everyone doesn't change, then this will always be like this!"

"We want to take the imperial examination to speak out for us; if the road to the imperial examination is not clear, then we will be a teacher, teach students, and write works to spread our thoughts."

"As long as people don't die, try to do it. One person cannot do it, two people cannot, one generation cannot, two generations cannot, then ten people, a hundred people, a thousand people, then ten generations, a hundred generations, and a thousand generations! I am willing to start with me!"

After saying this, Song Yingxing looked directly at Zhang Yu and said firmly: "I want to go to the academy, and there is a chance. Once we enter the academy, we have the opportunity to contact Your Majesty; once we contact Your Majesty, we have the opportunity to tell Your Majesty our doctrine."

"Your Majesty is willing to accept Chen Kedao's doctrines; your Majesty cannot accept our doctrines. This is an opportunity. It is our blessing to meet such an emperor. I will do it if I succeed or not."

"Zhang Tuizhi, if you want to leave, I won't blame you." After saying this, Song Yingxing shook his sleeves and walked out, feeling like he was different and he was not planning to do anything.

Song Yingsheng and Zhang Yu were left in the room.

"Are you sure you want to leave?" Song Yingsheng looked at Zhang Yu and asked with a pity.

"Why should I leave?" Zhang Yu stuffed the wine in the bowl, and the wine penetrated his throat like a fire.

He stood up and said loudly: "What I said just now is just to let Chang Geng understand something. The road ahead is difficult and he cannot retreat."

"My name Zhang Yu, whose courtesy name is Tuizhi, but I won't retreat."

"Why are you so angry with him?" Song Yingsheng shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Because he is the one who can do the best among us. If there is one person who can do it, it can only be him." Zhang Yu looked at the direction where Song Yingxing left, smiled calmly, and said in a gentle tone, without the anger he had just happened.
